.... and the breakfast tray at the Harvard Club of New York left us speechless. A fresh plate of perfect fruit and a newly-baked blueberry muffin that awakened all the right taste buds. Pity about the coffee - never good out of metal - but the muffin scored on all counts:
Looks 4/5 Classic, simple, elegant. Topping 4/5 Unadorned but lightly crisp. Texture 4/5 Warm, crumbly but intact Taste 5/5 No artifice here. Plenty of fresh blueberries too Aftertaste 5/5. None - did they even use raising agent?
Of course we had to snoop further - and the fruity carrot version was a triumph - just look at this texture. Fresh-baked in the club kitchens every morning so it must be chef Angelo Ljubicic to whom the accolade belongs. Sadly we couldn't find him to check out the palm oil credentials but if he'd like to reassure us the address is MagogMuffins@gmail.com. For now these Harvard Club muffins are a contender for "Ms Muffin World". Onward into the Big Apple ....
